Meeting

Rhefia lowered me to the ground, and I instantly found myself in Camara's arms, my eldest holding me tight.

"M-mama..."

She was trembling, making me raise my arms and hug her back.

Stroking her hair, I was then embraced from behind by Aethisia, my youngest silent as she held us both.

Smiling at them, I took in a shaky breath as they comforted me, both finally releasing me when I gave them both a deep kiss.

"I'm alright now; I'm home, and you both are finally better! That's all I need; all I'll ever need."

Camara nodded, her eyes watery as she stared at me, while Aethisia glanced at Rhefia, who was watching on with a small smile.

When we were all done, Rhefia turned to the stairs, that warmth and love leaving her eyes as she started descending.

Following behind her, we exited the house and saw Yiksa sitting in front of the pool, resting her chin on her hand as she stared down at her own reflection.

Hearing someone step behind her, she turned, before stiffening as Rhefia's towering figure entered her vision.

Widening her eyes, she didn't even attempt to fight back as Rhefia grabbed her by the throat, raising her up.

Bringing her to eye level, Rhefia stared at the Dark Elf, who was trembling in her grasp.

"You..."

Rhefia's voice was low and guttural, making even me shiver.

Tossing the Dark Elf to the ground, Rhefia slammed her foot into her stomach, kicking her a few feet away.

Yiksa coughed violently, her eyes still wide with fear as she wretched.

However, Rhefia kicked her again, sending her flying into a tree.

Crying out in pain, Yiksa tried to get up, but she was pinned down by Rhefia, who was holding her down by the neck.

Glancing at my wife, I pursed my lips as I saw the mild pain in her eyes as she moved, before I listened to her words.

"I'm of the mind to tear you limb from limb, but that'd be too swift. Too easy. What you did..."

Rhefia glanced back at me, before returning her eyes to Yiksa's.

"Was something that my wife will need to remember for a lifetime. As such..."

Grinning at the Dark Elf, Rhefia tapped the red tattoo on her dark gray skin.

"You'll serve us for a lifetime. Doing whatever we want, when we want it. It's only fair, no?"

Getting up, Rhefia's grin twisted as she gestured to our two daughters, saying "When we're healthy again, we'll need a good sparring partner! One that can help... simulate a real fight. You know what I mean?"

Camara glared at Yiksa, while Aethisia smirked, her pale crimson eyes shining with hate.

"Besides that, I think it'll be rather torturous on it's own, seeing me raise your child in your place. After all, you decided to sow your seed before guaranteeing that you could fend for that child. That was the first, and last mistake you made."

Yiksa shivered again, her eyes flitting over to my stomach.

"Now, as much as I despise you, I can think of many uses for you in our life; whether or not you make it that far is another story, either by one of us getting tired of you, or you taking your own life. So, let's get along instead, yeah~?"

Holding out her hand, Rhefia grinned at Yiksa, who stared at the offered hand with fear.

The clearing was silent for a few moments, and Yiksa looked between everyone before hesitantly taking the offered hand.

"Good girl! It seems our pet knows basic commands... even if she was a little slow..."

Smirking at Yiksa, Rhefia gestured towards the tent, saying "Go away for now; just the sight of you makes me want to kill you."

The Dark Elf nodded and scurried away, only to fall as Camara tripped her, making the woman grunt.

Glaring at Camara, Yiksa was about to say something when Aethisia glared down at her, making her shiver.

She scrambled back to her tent, closing the flap behind her.

Sighing, Rhefia stared at the sky before turning to me, her lips pursed.

"I still don't know why you want to keep her; that's an extra mouth to feed."

Nodding, I slid beside her and glanced at the tent, saying "I know, but..."

Grabbing her arm, I pressed myself into her warmth as I spat "I just... want to see her suffer; not a quick death, but something drawn out. Besides, she could have some uses... maybe."

Rhefia frowned, while Camara and Aethisia shook their heads.

Chuckling, I gave each a look as I said "With how lustful each of you are, I'll need help; and before you say Camara is help enough, I know each of you wants to be rough. So..."

Gesturing at the tent, I said "Use her however you like. Of course, for now, don't get her pregnant, but do whatever you want with her. She HAS to follow my orders, so when I order her to obey each of you as if you were me, she won't have a choice."

That made Rhefia raise a brow at me, before saying "Sure, why not... Anyways..."

She gently touched my stomach, and I gulped, staring at her.

"W-Were... were you serious, earlier? W-Would y-you really r-raise this child as y-your own?"

Glancing over at Camara and Aethisia, Rhefia sighed as she said "No promises, but... I can tell you I won't hate, hurt, or kill her. I think it'll be interesting seeing Yiksa's reaction to that, but..."

She sighed again, saying "It does irk me that this isn't mine."

Hearing that, I pursed my lips, a thought entering my mind.

One I had months before, but...

Letting it drift away, I decided to wait before asking about it; for now, that question was too volatile to be asked now.

"Well, come back inside; eat some more, then rest. You're all still recovering..."

They all nodded, following behind me as we entered the house.

I could tell that Yiksa had drained a little more from Rhefia, even if she wasn't showing it; I was surprised she left it at so little, before I had realized that she wasn't feeling that good yet.

So, I sat her down and forced her to eat and drink more, my wife frowning as I sat on her lap and held the spoon in front of her lips.

Our daughters held back chuckles at her expression, making her glare at them, but...

She opened her mouth when I pouted at her, reluctantly gulping it down.

Smiling at her, I continued to pamper her and my girls, before getting them back to bed.
